About Dr. Kristen

I was first introduced to chiropractic as a teenager after suffering injuries in a car accident. I was astonished by my speedy recovery and the resolution of many other health issues. My interest blossomed as I worked in a chiropractic office doing marketing and assisting with rehab. It seemed only natural that I take the next step and pursue a career in a field that fascinated me.
	With a fulfilling undergraduate experience at Augustana Collage, I chose to stay in the Quad Cities and attend Palmer College of Chiropractic. While at Palmer, I received a comprehensive education in chiropractic manipulation, diagnosis, exercise, nutrition, rehabilitation, soft tissue therapies, and x-ray interpretation. I worked in the sports injury clinic, was involved in many clubs and even traveled abroad to work in a clinic in India.
In addition to being a Chiropractor, I am Board Certified and Licensed in Acupuncture, and have certifications in Cosmetic Acupuncture (both Facial Rejuvenation and The Mei Zen Cosmetic System). Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, yoga, running, and being outdoors. I am a dedicated member of the community, a member of the Villa Park Junior Woman’s Club, Villa Park and Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce.
